chancecravenI met this guy when we were both swinging baseball bats and chasing girls. Since then we have fought, laughed, seen each other cry, been through hell and still call each other a brother! I encouraged him to quit his comfortable job and start his own business and he believed in me to the point he invested thousands in my dreams! And in the process we've each become husbands to incredible women, fathers to future world changers and continuously challenge each other to be more like Jesus. We've done life together and we'll continue to do so. - - Today I'm thankful for all that @bryancameron826 has done to help me as an individual, a business owner, a husband, father and friend. I am also thankful that he bought my lunch today at @4riverssmokehouse! 1d

Love you man. Thanks so much for being the man you are. You have changed my life and encouraged me in so many ways. It's friends like you that make life so amazing. It's an honor and a blessing you call you a brother. 23h

chancecravenWhen you jump out of the boat and try to walk on water... There are two types of people. 1) Those who will point fingers, say you're foolish, remind you that you're drowning and scream I told you so. They'll tell everyone else you're drowning and never ask if you need help. These people have never thought about jumping... 2) The person who pushed you! They told you that whether you walk or drown, they'll love you the same. The person that'll reach out to grab you when the water gets deep. The person who's been there, who's fallen and gotten back up. These people accept you for who you are, in every season. - - The man in this photo has reached out when I've been drowning. He's forced me to jump out of the boat when I've allowed my past to paralyze me. He's encouraged me to trust Jesus and reminded me of why I do the things I do. Tonight I had dinner with @jfdee and it was a good night!! Well, any night with table side guacamole and endless chips and salsa is a good night, but tonight was especially good! 2d

chancecravenI leave the office at lunch on Fridays so I can spend the afternoon with this guy! Today we drove around, got some Chickfila and I introduced him to the world of baseball. Today was a good day! 4d

chancecravenOpinions Please: Is there a need for "another" clothing company? - - No? Why not? Tell me. - - Yes? Why do you choose one brand over another? Social good? Made in America? What doesn't exist that you want? 7d

chancecraven@laceymaxwell we have an awesome Anthropologie in Greenville that recently opened! Their stores are beautiful... But why do you love them? How did they get your loyalty? 7d

I'm coming to visit ASAP! I love them because I think it's beautiful. Their dresses are very well made, and make me feel beautiful. Shopping there is an experience for me. It's the same reason I love Whole Foods or Central Market. It's an experience going there. It's never mundane. 7d

I appreciate made in the USA because I know the working standards are fair and publicly shared. Also, quality tends to be better. Not sure there needs to be another clothing company but I do like to stick to my staple shopping spots. 7d

chancecravenThe last seven days have included ice storms, surgery, stomach bugs and snow. It's been crazy, but it's been a blessing at the same time! - - Seeing my wife become a mother over the last year has been one of the greatest things I've ever experienced. I've seen her grow closer to God. I've seen her love our baby in a way that represents Jesus. She's made sacrifices. She's encouraged me to be the greatest father I can be and we've grown closer as friends. She's my best friend! - - So though the last week has been crazy, I wouldn't trade these moments for anything in the world. We slowed down. We sat on the couch. We spent time together and we loved it. 1w

chancecravenElijah's facial expression says it all! He was nervous going into the OR, but he did great!! Thank you to everyone who said a prayer and sent well wishes. - - We're home now and Momma bear has him snuggled up and rocking him to sleep. God is good! 2w

chancecravenJust snuggled with, prayed over and handed my son to the medical staff that is performing his surgery today. They say it's a basic procedure so there's nothing to worry about. I say there's nothing easy about your son being operated on. - - In moments like this it helps to think of something funny... So I'm laughing at the fact Elijah's testicles are so big, one of them didn't drop when he was born. That'll make a dad proud. 2w

chancecravenI started following @brandonpalaniuk on Instagram because both of our trucks were lifted at Rock and Roll Offroad. Since then I've watched him drive thousands of miles, spend weeks away from family and friends, sleep in the back of his truck and make countless other sacrifices to pursue his dream. Brandon is a professional angler and this weekend he's in my backyard trying to catch a few big bass, I just saw him on 85! - - Brandon, you're an encouragement to many! Thanks for hustling in a way that inspires the rest of us to pursue our dreams and welcome to the South! If you're interested, dinner for you and @tl_mccall is my treat while you're in Greenville! Name the place. 2w

chancecraven@juan_naula tell me about it!! Haha He looked like he just left his wife and children in a warm bed at home and was forced to put on a suit and tie. My heart broke a little when I saw him. 2w

chancecravenWhy do you need chainsaws after an ice storm? So that when a two lane road becomes one lane... You can jump out of the truck, crank the saw, cut some limbs, throw them over the guardrail and keep on going! - - These are the moments a good ol' southern boy dreams about. 2w
